The first minister says: "As of today, I can report that more than 90% of care home residents - the top priority group - have now received their first dose of vaccine.

• a number of health boards have now given the first dose of vaccine to 100% of their care home residents.
• more than 70% of care home staff have now had their first dose.
• more than 70% of all frontline health and care workers have also received the first dose

The first minister tells the chamber: "Nothing is more important right now than the continued rollout of vaccines.

"We are now vaccinating approximately 100,000 people a week."

"That number will increase progressively from here on and – assuming we receive the supplies we expect – we are on track to be vaccinating 400,000 people a week by the end of February."

"We are continuing to expand the use of testing within Scotland, including a more widespread use of asymptomatic testing," says Ms Sturgeon.

The health secretary announced on Friday the start of asymptomatic testing for all care-at-home workers.

"We are also further increasing our fleet of mobile testing units," Ms Sturgeon says.

"These mobile units will soon be capable of serving up to 84 different communities at any one time.

"And we will shortly, in partnership with local authorities, set out our plans for large-scale community testing of people without symptoms.

"These will build on the pilots conducted before Christmas."

"The strong advice - reinforced, of course, in law - is that no-one should be travelling at all just now, either within Scotland or to and from the country, unless it is absolutely essential," says the first minister.

The first minister turns to border control.

"Suppressing the virus within our own borders is our most immediate challenge."

Ms Sturgeon says all travel corridors have been suspended.

This means that, with some limited sectoral exemptions, everyone arriving in Scotland now has to isolate for 10 days, no matter what country they are coming here from.

In addition, anyone travelling here must test negative for Covid no more than 72 hours before arrival.

Ms Sturgeon adds: "We will continue to assess what restrictions are needed, and how they should be enforced, so that we can manage the risk of importing new Covid cases."

"If it is at all possible, as I very much hope it will be, to begin even a phased return to in-school learning in mid-February, we will," Ms Sturgeon says.

The first minister adds: "But I also have to be straight with families and say that it is simply too early to be sure about whether and to what extent this will be possible.

"However, I will update parliament again as soon as we have completed the review, taking advice from our clinical advisors on the 2nd of February."

"School buildings and nurseries have been closed to most children since the start of term, and we indicated previously that the earliest possible date for a full return to school premises was 1 February," says the first minister.

"Our reluctant judgment at this stage is that community transmission of the virus is too high - and is likely to remain so for the next period - to allow a safe return to school on the 1st of February."

The cabinet decided today that - except for vulnerable and key worker children - school and nursery premises will remain closed until mid-February.

"We will review the situation again on 2 February and I hope we can set out then a firmer timetable for getting children back into school," Ms Sturgeon says.

Nicola Sturgeon moves the island of Barra and Vatersay, which is connected by a causeway, from level three to level four from midnight tonight following a significant outbreak.

Covid-19 cases on the island increased to 39 on Monday with NHS Western Isles describing the situation as "serious" and "escalating".

Ms Sturgeon says more than 10% of Barra’s population has been required to self-isolate and adds that there is a significant concern that without additional measures, the outbreak could spread more widely across the Western Isles.

She says there is also concern about the potential impact on care home and clinical services.

The cabinet decided this morning to maintain the restrictions which are currently in place, says the first minister.

That means that the lockdown restrictions - including the strict stay at home requirement - will remain in place across mainland Scotland and some island communities until at least the middle of February.

Cabinet will review the situation again on the 2 February.

"As we have learned throughout this pandemic so far, the incubation period and the infectious path of this virus, means that pressure on the NHS, in numbers being hospitalised and requiring intensive care, continues to increase for a period even after cases start to decline," the first minister says.

"And that pressure is already acute."

• there are around 2,000 Covid patients in hospital.
• this is about 30% more than at the peak of the first wave last April.
• around 80% of the NHS Covid surge capacity is already being utilised.
• the number of Covid patients in intensive care has increased by more than 90% since the turn of the year
• there are about 260 patients in intensive care beds across Scotland.
• this compares with a normal ICU capacity of around 170

"So the pressure the NHS is facing right now is real and severe and it is, of course, having a significant consequential impact on non Covid elective care," Ms Sturgeon says.

The new faster-spreading variant of the virus is now the dominant one, the first minister tells the chamber.

The proportion of new cases with the S Gene dropout indicative of it appears to have stabilised at around two-thirds of all new cases.

"All of this is encouraging and a signal that the lockdown restrictions are working," she says.

"However, it is important, firstly, to be cautious."

Case numbers are still high, say the first minister.

She points out the pressure on the NHS continues to be very severe.

"In short we are still in a very precarious position," she says.

However, she adds that there are some signs for optimism and the sacrifices everyone continues to make are having an impact.

Nicola Sturgeon says she will report on some cautious grounds for optimism, but also why it is vital to stick with the restrictions for a further period.

The first minister says she will also provide an update on the return of schools.

Nicola Sturgeon is about to get on her feet in the chamber.

There are encouraging signs we might be past the peak of this particular wave. The numbers of people testing positive for coronavirus has been stabilising, but that doesn’t mean we are likely to see an easing of restrictions.

Levels are still high in the community and a small percentage of those who test positive today will become sick enough to need hospital treatment in a week or two. Day-by-day the numbers of patients in hospital continues to rise with some parts of the country hit harder than others. Medics I’ve been speaking to say they will cope but are worried about what the next fortnight will bring.

The government and public health experts will be scrutinising the data. They will want to be confident that the NHS is not going to be overwhelmed and to be sure the rate of infections is coming right down before making any significant changes.

• 1,165 new cases of Covid -19 reported
• 13,193 new tests for Covid-19 that reported results –11.1%of these were positive
• 71 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive
• 150 people are in intensive care with recently confirmed Covid-19
• 1,989 people are in hospital with recently confirmed Covid-19
• 284,582 people have received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination and 3,886 have received their second dose

During a heated press conference on Monday, Neil Lennon said the Scottish government's decision to tell 13 Celtic players to self-isolate after their trip to Dubai was motivated by politics and not public health.

BBC Scotland's sports news correspondent Chris McLaughlin says the Celtic manager is unlikely to back down on the issue.

If you think that Neil Lennon woke up this morning with regret on his mind, you don’t know Neil Lennon. His sometimes combative style and approach made him a successful player, a winning manager and an interviewee who is rarely dull. The Northern Irishman thinks the club has been harshly treated and he won’t back down from that.

Some say his explosive rant was evidence of an under-pressure manager who knows his days in the Celtic dug-out are numbered. Others point to the frustration of a man who has recently emerged from self-isolation but, while those factors can be considered, what cannot be ignored is that this is often his style – nothing tactical or strategic, just raw emotion.

So while the drawbridge at Celtic may be up, the siege mentality has not necessarily been created by its manager – his comments certainly haven’t helped but the damage, on and off the pitch, was inflicted long ago.

Nicola Sturgeon will update the Scottish parliament on the current lockdown after meeting with her cabinet.

The initial period of lockdown for mainland Scotland was given as "the rest of January".

Most Scottish pupils are now in their second week of home learning with parents eager to find out if schools will be allowed to reopen fully from 1 February.

But it is unlikely there will be any major changes.

John Swinney has already said it would be "a tall order" for pupils to return to classrooms.

And Ms Sturgeon said on Monday she didn't want to raise parents' expectations.
